Under the Stars

Anyone that's been to Mount Rainier probably knows this location. Back in 2013 I was driving past Reflection Lakes on the way home from a night of milky way photography and stumbled across near perfect conditions for a twilight shoot.
This shot was taken well before sunrise, but the camera still picked up a nice little glow out of the South East which can be seen in this composition. It comes from single RAW file which was lightly processed in both Lightroom & Photoshop using the following techniques. The total processing time took about 20 minutes.

For an in depth experience, my Star Photography Workshops & Photography Tours visit some of the darkest national parks that the West Coast of the United States has to offer and provide expert instruction along the way in all aspects of star and landscape photography!
